Thread: Chief Justice of 9th Circuit Court has porn on his website

This is crazy. Why does the chief justice of the 9th Circuit Court have porn on his website? What is up with this guy, and the 9th Circuit in general?

'Shock art' trial stalled by porn report on judge

'Shock art' trial stalled by porn report on judge - CNN.com
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A federal judge has suspended the obscenity trial of a Los Angeles porn distributor after a newspaper report that the judge had sexually explicit material on his own Web site.

Judge Alex Kozinski granted a joint motion to suspend the trial Wednesday after the prosecution said it needed time to look into the issue of the judge's Web site.

The judge told the jury to return Monday.

The panel spent hours at the Pasadena offices of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals watching videos depicting bestiality and extreme fetishes.

Kozinski is chief justice of the 9th Circuit but is serving as a trial judge in the obscenity case of Ira Isaacs.

Hilarious, and a Republican to boot.

Mike, I think you know me better than that.

When a member of a party that rails for family values and oppresion of freedom of speech gets busted having videos of excited farm animals on his website, the hypocrisy of their political positions is very amusing.

Who better to sit in judgment on a porn distributor than a judge who is obviously an expert in the field?

No where does the article tell his political affiliation. Further he is a libertarian not a republican. So again actually read up on someone before you run your mouth. Yes a republican president recommended him but he isn't a republican.

You are aware of what the Federalist Society is correct? Perhaps I need to recommend that you read up.

Was the porn illegal? If not, then this is purely political, even if it contradicts a "family values" image.

Can you please show me where this judge has been anything other than a staunch first amendment defender and what specifically you have against him other than your antediluvian partisan stereotypes?
